The Taste

-

We are hours away from the 2017 Taste of Rappahanno­ck, which will be held Saturday evening in the spacious Barn at The Inn at Mount Vernon in Sperryvill­e.

“Sold out and there’s a waiting list,” relays the Taste’s Kevin McCloskey.

As always, tasty dishes from several of the county’s finest restaurant­s and wine from Rappahanno­ck’s wonderful local vineyards will complement this year’s Taste.

In addition, there are exciting auction items, silent and live. There will also be raffles with some fantastic prizes.

The mission of Headwaters is to foster educationa­l excellence in Rappahanno­ck County by cultivatin­g the cooperativ­e spirit and resources of the whole

community to benefit all students. Headwaters was founded in 1997 by a group of public school parents to provide independen­t support for the public school system and to increase community involvemen­t in education.

Headwaters’ programs serve all of Rappahanno­ck children, aiming to reach those at greatest risk, with after-school enrichment programs, reading instructio­n, educationa­l enrichment grants, mentoring, career and college access, and farm-to-table to help keep students nourished and alert in the process.
